I’ve been working on Ragamuffin. I have some tablature out of an old
issue of Guitar World magazine but it is really inaccurate in the
sections of the song where Hedges shows off his technique. I have typed
in the first few measures to get things started. I stopped where
Michael starts really slapping around the guitar. I was hoping
that someone out there might be able to help me out here. I’ll gather
up your responses and post a (hopefully) completed tab.

I’m not really sure what happens here. He may just be pulling off
by dragging his finger (which is barring the fifth fret) across the
strings, but that doesn’t quite sound right.

These two notes sound slightly different each time he plays them
throughout the song. Beware.

After this point, I really don’t know what Michael is doing. Any
help that you could give here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
